Patent Claims
10 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first degree-of-completion graph is an undirected and weighted graph that is created by identifying and grouping user interface elements of the user interface window.

3

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the capturing of the plurality of screenshots of the user interface window during the use of the software product includes capturing screenshots on a periodic basis while the user interface window is open.

4

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the capturing of the plurality of screenshots of the user interface window during the use of the software product includes capturing screenshots each time a user interface event occurs for the user interface window.

6

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the subset of the plurality of screenshots to be included in the documentation includes a plurality of screenshots that have a highest cosine similarity.

8

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the first degree-of-completion graph is an undirected and weighted graph that is created by identifying and grouping user interface elements of the user interface window.

9

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the capturing of the plurality of screenshots of the user interface window during the use of the software product includes capturing screenshots on a periodic basis while the user interface window is open.

10

10. The system of claim 7, wherein the capturing of the plurality of screenshots of the user interface window during the use of the software product includes capturing screenshots each time a user interface event occurs for the user interface window.

13

13. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the first degree-of-completion graph is an undirected and weighted graph that is created by identifying and grouping user interface elements of the user interface window.

14

14. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the calculating of the degree-of-completion percentage for each of the plurality of screenshots includes analyzing the first degree-of-completion graph calculated for each of the plurality of screenshots.

15

15. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the capturing of the plurality of screenshots of the user interface window during the use of the software product includes capturing screenshots on a periodic basis while the user interface window is open.
